Ok, it's a useless bump, but I feel it would be great shame, to lose such well-thought thread, buried somewhere and forgotten.

I totally agree with idea of establishing simple, yet standardized criteria for benchmarking (micro)SD cards - just like for batteries in battery thread. Especially, that manufacturer's data are mostly useless, and raw batch speed are irrelevant in case of running OS'es from card/using it as swap.

BTW, such benchmarks could be useful not only for us - basically, same criteria apply to all things, where random access speed is much more important that batch, raw measurements.

Gurus, could You please write few basic ways to measure most important things (for given tasks, + list them?
